This receding o! the wa- iter table level bas been very ýnoticeable over the past twenty )fyears; in another twenty years *many farmi wells will fail unless- we start at once the planting of ,forest trees on a large scale. eWhat is meant is simply this: it bas been definitely proved that in order to keep the water table at a level of fromn twenty to twenty-five feet - that means water FLOWING in wells twenty to twenty-five feet deep - ther 20, 7-o! the land surface must be covered with undisturbed tree growtb. Wbich in turn means the surface covered witb trees and NOT PASTURED. Now the total acreage of the United Counties is in excess of 800,000 acres; and twenty per cent o! this is 160,000 acres. The as- sessment o! 1934 places wood. lands at 58,000 acres; some of whicb was covered with a heavy growtb; some scrub and some pastured woodlots. It bas beer estimated that bal! e! this is of such scattered tree growth thal it is o! lîttle value for conserving water. So that tbere are 30,000 acres o! tree-covered land in the United Counties serving as (a) Water Reservoir, (b) Well Sup- ply and (c) Stream Control. Wbat about tbe otber 130,000 acres? The output o! trees frem the Forestry Station at Orono sup- plies Eastern Ontario. The records show that trees have heen sup- plied to tbe landowners o! the United Counties te re!orest proh- ahly 2% o! the 130,000 acres, just ref erred te. At this rate it will require one bundred years to get the 130,000 acres covered with trees. Who can be expected to continue planting, and at what rate will tbey replant in the years to corne? This is one o! the purposes for wbich the Northumberland and Durbam Conservation Se rv i ce, Incorporated bas been organized. This Service, by contacting the landewners, by assisting tbe mu- nicipalities and the counties, by preparing surveys and estimates, by becoming an extension service o! the Forestry Department, can speed up the planting o! the 130,000 acres, witb its required minimum o! 130 million trees. STORE SILENCE US EXPENSIVE A voiceless retail store can be likened te a person lacking speech power. Dumbness is a great handicap in a store or a person. Customers like hest those retail stores which talk about tbem- selves and their service and mer- chandise-in the form o! adver- tisements published in the local newspaper. Most emphatically it is f ar more expensive to be silent than to be communicative, if one is in the retail business. Let us say, for tbe sake o! illustration, that you can afford te spend at least 1 % o! your annual sales on advertising, and that your annual sales ap- proximate $15,000 - wbicb would mean that you could afford to -r-Ay__$3 per week, on anav carpenters, feeling that any car- penter can get employment for1 bimsel!-can bave bis specializedI skill well used.

Hutchison Celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary on May l4th at their home, 171 Yale Ave., Winnipeg. They were married May 14, 1890, in Chatham, Ont. Dr. Hutchison is a well known Durham County Boy who has often visited bis native county. Report of their wedd- ing celebration appears in another column 'MAIL CARRIER tAT PONTYPOOL DIES SUDDENLY Suffering a sudden seizure after ehe had entered Nichoîls Hospital, i Peterboro, to undergo a compar- fatively simple operation, Robert tGray o! Pontypool, died unex- pectedly on May 24th. Mr. Gray had corne from bhis home in Pontypool te the bospital and was taking treatments pre- paratory to the operation which twas flot to have been perforrned until Saturday. It is believed ex- Dcitement brought on the attack. Born in Manvers Township, he 3had lived al bis life in that dis- trict, where be was widely known. For the past 21 years be had been a mail carrier on a rural route. He bas been residing in Pontypool for the past Il* years. He was a son o! the late Robert 0Gray and Jane McBrien and farmed for nl$any years at their homestead near Ballyduf!. He was a member o! the Presbyterian Cburch at Ballyduff and Secre- tary-Treasurer o! the Cemetery Board there. He was also a mem- ber o! the Independent Order o! Oddfellows. Surviving besides bis wife, the former Ida Holmes, are one son, Melvin, who operates the home- stead at Ballyduf!; three daugh- ters, Mrs. Elwood Masters, Myrtle Station; Mrs. William Malley, Newcastle; and Mrs. Louis Webb o! Pontypool; also one sister, Mrs. Joseph Killingbeck, Peterborough; and three brothers, Stanley o! Sault Ste. Marie; William, Cavan; and Henry, Michigan.. The funeral was beld Monday afternoon from the residence o! his daughter, Mrs. Louis Webb, in Pontypool, and interment was made in Ballyduf! Presbyterian Cemetery. TOURISTS REAP RICH MEMORIES In the interesting publication, "The Cracker Barrel," it points out that our country attaches far too little importance to this in- visible export called the tourist trade. It draws attention firstly to the prominent place we occupy in external trade; the sixth as re- gards imports, and the fourth as regards exports. Many o! the world's powers may well envy us. But, there is a !urther com- mercial wealth which wbile not readily appraised may well yield more than any, and that is tour- ism. It is, says Mr. Johnson, a gigantic enterprîse where 90% ýof the equipment is supplied by na- ture in the form o! rivers, lakes, mountains, beaches and historical background. Visitors from all parts o! the world, and particu- larly from the United States, can here reap a rich harvest of mem- ories of the past. They will lavish- ly pay for this imponderable luxury. It is an excellent way to carry on a cash and carry busi- ness so dear to the American o! to-day. The various governments o! the country are lndlined to in- vest too small a capital in the ex- ploitation o! this inexhaustible wealth. No doubt that greater foresight will be dfsplayed in the near future and that Canada will become the most popular centre o! America, if not o! the werld. TRAGIC PLIGHT 0F EUROPES WAR BABIES Writing in The American Week- ly with the June 2 issue o! The Detroit Sunday Times, Grand Duchess Marie o! Russia, Europe's most noted exile and cousin of the Czar who, with bis !amily, was murdered by Russian Commun- ista, tells - in ber own words - why there is only one woe abead for tiny hairs to the thrones broken or threatened by the lightning of invading armies.
